Our Moral Obligation to Repair and Prepare Texas

$1,405

I am a Progressive Democrat and Texan running in the March 6th Democratic Primary.

Growing up in the 90s in Houston's most diverse district Alief (now the International District) I learned that not only are there many Biracial Texans like myself, but there were many other family structures. In 2010 I joined the plumbers union in Houston, and continued for several years in skilled trades. Currently, I live in the Pearland area with my partner while completing a program for network engineering and cyber security.

Why am I running for Texas House?

You have seen that we need strong leadership to help improve every Texan's life and improve our State, and we need someone who is invested in the next 30-50 years, and not just looking for an easy job holding up the status quo.

It's 2018 and many of us want to put 2017 far behind us. Moving forward is a must but we also should analyze the things we would do differently or wish we did in the first place last year.

This could be as small as not remembering a dead line or missing an opportunity that you may never see again.

We all need to learn from the feelings of regret. Life can't be controlled, but we can learn from our actions of success and failure.

In 2018 I want to grow with you. I want to learn from the failures during the 2017 session. I want to wear our scars like badges of honor.

This 2018 election is the most important one for the next 10 years of voter redistricting. If we do not have a progressive majority we do not have a fair voting state as the 2019 session redraws the voting districts for the following 10 years.

What can you do?

Donate to my campaign. Register friends and family to vote. Go out and vote March 6th.

Let us all ensure that when 2019 rolls around we have no regrets from 2018. Texas, get ready to flip blue.

May God bless your Sunday and time spent with family, in your place of worship, relaxing at home, working, or however else you are spending it.

I would like today to speak about the Moral issue that is repairing our Texas Education System.

Lets look at Ecclesiastes 7 verse 12 and 19

12 For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

19 Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

Our education system is an important structure that needs to be repaired from the private interests of those exploiting our childrens education for financial gain.

As reported by the Texas Tribune HERE Rob Eissler made it his job to lobby Texas' education system into a deep spiral of privatized industry that have monopolized our states education system.

The purpose of our Texas Public Education systems is NOT to generate revenue for PEARSON or any corporation. Our students are not cattle. Our schools are not a market place.

When we look at not only the effects of privatized education materials, but the affect it is having on our students, you are met with a rude awakening.

By standardized testing being the parameters of which a school district and its teachers are measured for FUNDING AND PAY. With private companies creating the test that GET MORE MONEY from schools and students struggling, its no wonder Texas has dropped so low in the nation!!

Lets face the fact that taking care of our children, the education structure around the state, and removing privatization from creating the curriculum is a morality problem that must be addressed.

You do not need to attend a special Sunday school lesson to learn that, but I have provided a little one for everyone today.

Please help fund my campaign so we can Repair and Prepare a Stronger Texas Together.

We have made our first goal and have taken a great step towards our new $1,200 goal!

Most of us are waking up to a fresh snow fall caused by the wild fires in California. This dry hot air has traveled to the southern states and Alaska via jet stream.

Let us carry this conversation back to the importance of the Paris Agreement. The fact is we need leaders who are able to acknowledge the facts before we can even begin to repair and prepare this State. As Texas goes so goes the nation!

Building a Stronger Texas Together will help build a Stronger Nation too.

I am running for Texas House Representative of District 29, Ed Thompsons seat. ( including the cities of Pearland, Manvel, Alvin, and Iowa Colony in Brazoria County)
I have until Dec 11th to file, and I am going to need your help!

From hurting Texas women and children, foster children, immigrant laws that protect police and families, opposing free breakfast for school children, opposing workers rights and right to privacy, voting against LGBTQ Texans, voting against the states right to use state funds to enforce firearm regulations and much more that does not keep Texas' future and what that future is going to look like in consideration.
